Chapter 1302 1302: Insidious (Part 1) [Please vote]
“My son is not convinced.”
Cui Xiong blatantly talked back to him.
The next second, the tea cup exploded next to his legs.
Cui Zhi’s eyes were so sinister and terrifying: “Cui Houbai!”
Cui Xiong stood up from the ground and looked directly into Cui Zhi's eyes without timidity: "My father just asked his son who he was hiding for, and now his son also wants to ask his father, were you the one who knew the truth from the beginning to the end?"
"You have known for a long time that Baojun's identity is wrong!"
"If not, how could my father be?" Do you have to ask this question?”
“You want to play with your son?”
Cui Xiong tried his best to control his emotions at first to prevent the father and son from quarreling. I was really angry, but after a few questions, I became more and more angry. I couldn't hide my resentment, so I simply stopped hiding it.
Cui Zhi said nothing, wanting to hear what his son had to say.
Cui Xiong asked: "Who is she?"
Cui Zhi was off guard by the three words. He laughed angrily and said in a strange way: "Why do you ask this? Why, You can't stand being played around by your father, but can you tolerate being played around by a woman of unknown origin?"
The atmosphere between father and son became even more tense.
In the end, Cui Xiong took a step back.
"Being both sides does not work every time. My father supported the king openly, but secretly gave Kang Guo an advantage and turned a blind eye. If he wanted to use this favor to save the whole Cui family, It would be too much to think about Kang Guo "Simple."
Cui Xiong knew his father's calculations and arrangements, which were nothing more than - his father retired, he came to power, the Cui family changed its head, and in the future, there were two people helping him in the court, everything was old. Just turn it over.
But, can it really be changed?
Cui Xiong feels like he can’t turn it over!
My father has a close relationship with the Society of Gods, which is really difficult to separate. Moreover, Cui is huge, and one move can affect the whole body! There is not only the clan leader's branch in Qi State, but other branches are also intertwined. If Kang State doesn't move the clan leader's branch, why can't it move other branches? After all, they are blood relatives of the same race who have broken bones and connected tendons. How can they be clearly distinguished? If one loses, both will suffer.
Kang Guo's strength in this battle far exceeded expectations.
The allied forces of the southwestern countries lasted less than a year despite their full attack.
This little time is not enough for Shen Youli to govern Heyin.
"Huh, you are thoughtful. Cui didn't know when his son had such a scheming mind. No matter how bad I am, I have eaten more grains than you for more than 20 years, so you don't need to worry... ”
Cui Xiong’s plan is not wrong.
It can even be called meticulous and thoughtful.
However, he did not know Cui Hui's true position, let alone the existence of his grandfather Cui Xiao. The connection between Cui and Kang Guo is far closer than Cui Xiong sees. This closeness allows Cui to buy more time to change and retreat calmly.
Cui Zhi was a little annoyed when he mentioned this.
His old Taishan treated his son-in-law with eyes that were not eyes and a nose that was not a nose. During his house arrest, he never showed a good look to him. As soon as he heard that Cui Xiong was ill, he immediately summoned Cui Zhi to come over and suppress the battle.
Is Lao Taishan afraid that something bad will happen to Cui Xiong for his mother-in-law?
Hearing that Cui Zhi was confident, Cui Xiong said no more.
“My son will ask his mother about her affairs.”
Mother Cui Hui has a very good relationship with You Bao. In many cases, they don’t look like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but like old friends who have known each other for a long time. Cui Xiong used to only think that the two were destined, but after jumping out of the barriers, the truth was far more complicated than he thought. His mother couldn't make sense, so he went to Ermi.
There is always one that comes in handy for the whole family.
Cui Zhi's blood pressure was a little high as he watched his son bow and leave.
But, still the same sentence——
The qualified heir is Cui Xiong.
No matter how angry he was, Cui Zhi still had to hold his nose and clean up the other party's mess. The news that the leader of Qi State was assassinated and died cannot be announced truthfully. It can only be said that he suffered from a sudden illness due to excessive worries. At the critical moment when Mei Meng died in battle, Cui Zhi suddenly thought and came up with the perfect words: "It can be said that 'the water of Xiaoxiang is broken, the mountains of Wanwei are tilted, the pearls sink and break, and the jade is broken and connected to the city'."
< br>The king lost his best friend and lost his spirit.
In just a few days, his condition worsened and he passed away.
Cui Zhi showed up, and the general, as a disciple promoted by Cui, naturally stood on his side. With the threat of military power, the news of the death of the king did not cause turmoil among the courtiers. With the support of a group of ministers, Cui Zhi was responsible for handling the king's posthumous affairs and recommending his successor.
"The Lord has just passed away, and the matter of his successor..."
Cui Zhi did not want to get involved in the latter matter.
But other ministers didn’t think so.
Someone said: "Gong Cui, a country without a king will be in chaos."
There are also people who have their own ideas.
They want to choose an adult lord from the clan.
Since the previous lord had an heir, recommending someone else over the heir would easily lead to criticism. Cui Zhi's support would be no problem: "A country cannot live without a king, let alone a troubled time of internal and external troubles? It is even more necessary for a king to stabilize the hearts of his subjects!"
Cui Zhi chose to pretend to be deaf to these topics. .
If you can’t fool him, just pretend to be stunned.
He himself was bedridden because of the death of his mother-in-law, and now he was holding on to his weakness to stand up and preside over the funeral ceremony of the king. In addition, the king was still his ex-wife, so it was logical that he could not bear multiple blows and could not afford to be ill. After many times, the ministers also knew that Cui Zhi did not want to go into this troubled water, so they could only send people to check Cui Zhi's words.
Cui Zhi does not have to join, but he must express his stance.
Whether they elect a young master or an adult clan leader, Cui Zhi cannot express dissatisfaction. Otherwise, if they select candidates and Cui Zhi jumps out and says no, wouldn't that cause chaos? Cui Zhi also gave them reassurance that it didn't matter whether the new owner was a descendant of the previous master or a descendant of another clan, and then continued to be the hands-off shopkeeper.
The current situation is special, and the body of the king's body did not stay alive for long.
However, Shuangqi decided to support the spirit and bury it.
The ministers of Qi State also urgently captured a male clan member in his thirties to succeed him as the new master. The new owner was having a romantic affair at home and was almost stunned by a big pie falling from the sky. People are sitting at home, and the throne comes from heaven! Is there such a good thing in the world?
He hurriedly came to power and immediately made the former master's heir.
When the king received the news, several male favorites who had heirs still wanted to fight for power. They supported their daughters as the head of the country and listened to the government from behind the curtain. However, Qi Guo on the front line was addicted to it. The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs blocked the news of the death of the previous owner, which caused the male favorite to make some moves and the new owner has been determined. They had to be driven out of the royal court and protected with their respective daughters.
It is more like house arrest than protection.
The first thing the new leader does when he takes office is to send people for peace talks.
He said: "Let's not fight this battle for now."
The peace envoy had not even stepped out of the city gate, but Kang State sent an envoy to express condolences. Qi State was in mourning, so Kang State temporarily stopped attacking Qi State and focused on attacking Qi State's allies. The territory belonging to Kang State is expanding every day.
The new owner regretted it just a few days after he was introduced.
When the new energy of the king wears off, what remains is endless trouble. He thought he had picked up a big leak, but he didn't expect to get into big trouble. Qi State suffered heavy losses in the last battle. Now it has no troops, no generals, no food...
How can we fight this battle?
Kang Guo wanted to annex the southwest?
You don’t have to chew hard even if you chew it gently.
The leader of the country wanted to use a slow-down strategy to surrender and show weakness first in exchange for living space and time, and stabilize Kang State with interests. Give him a few years to recover, and then he can make other plans. This idea cannot be expressed directly. The new owner has no choice but to find Cui Zhi.
Cui Zhi still focuses on Tai Chi with Xin.
Don’t ask, just ask because he is seriously ill and his brain is shutting down.
The new owner was rejected twice, and was about to go for the third time. He saw the condolence messenger sent by Kang State, and immediately gave up the idea of visiting him, feeling resentful that he had been fooled.
Without him, the messenger’s surname is Cui, the Cui family name.
Cui Zhi’s second son, Cui Mi!
For a while, the mourning hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. No matter whether they were civil or military, everyone showed hatred on their faces, and they wished they could kill Cui Mi in front of the mourning body!
“This messenger looks good and has a good face.”
As he spoke, he used his peripheral vision to observe Cui Xiong's expression.
"You are indeed kind-faced. I remember meeting you at the banquet held at Cui Gong's house. Speaking of which, Cui Gong's second son seems to have the same name as the envoy?" Cui Xiong said without changing his expression: "He is my younger brother."< br>
Cui Mi rushed to Cui Zhi and saluted: "I have met my father."
He then said to Cui Xiong: "I have met my eldest brother."
The civil and military officials of Qi State, including the new master, all had distorted faces.
Looks like he swallowed a fly.
Cui Zhi and his son never mentioned that Cui Mi was loyal to Kang Guo!
The Cui family, father and son, frankly admitted their relationship with each other in public, which made the other people look different inside and out. Cui Zhi's son defected to Kang State, but it can't prove that Cui family also defected to Kang State? It is nothing new for children of aristocratic families to place long bets. With two legs growing on Cui Mi's body, can Cui Zhi care which lord he is loyal to?
Cui Mi doesn’t care what other people’s reactions are.
When he was holding incense and worshiping, other pictures flashed before his eyes, and he felt quite emotional in his heart - he had seen the leader of Qi Kingdom die in more than a dozen different ways, and he had also seen the future in which she survived. Only the one in front of him, his The eldest brother is safe and sound.
Cui Mi respectfully handed the incense to the chamberlain and bowed again.
I have words in my heart to give salvation to the Lord of Qi State.
[A dead Taoist friend will never die but a poor Taoist. 】
【Compared with brother, you'd better rest in peace. 】
If other envoys came to express condolences, they might be in danger for their lives, but Cui Mi felt as comfortable as if he had returned home, and he walked in and out without worrying about his life. As soon as he sat down and wanted to take a sip of tea, the tea cup was snatched away by a hand: "Brother, my tea."
He was already thirsty after a long journey.
“Don’t drink yet, answer first.”
Cui Mi could only put away his unruly sitting posture that turned into noodles: “Brother, what do you want to ask? Everything else is easy to say, sister-in-law, don’t ask.”< br>
Cui Xiong was choked: "Two Moose!"
Cui Mi said earnestly: "Brother, please wake up!"
Cui Xiong said: "I should ask her clearly, what have I been to her all these years? Has she never been sincere?"< br>
“You’re in bad luck.”
Cui Xiong: “… "
Cui Mi sighed: "Listen to my younger brother's advice, she is not a qualified clan wife, and being a clan wife is too wasteful. To put it bluntly, brother, you need a good wife, one who is not as smart as you. I am willing to regard you as the number one in my life.”
Big brother can't even be ranked in the top ten in that person's heart.
Cui Xiong opened his mouth: "...but..."
He did not want the other party to be a pure clan wife, nor did he intend to restrain the person in the inner house. Do these two elks see it? Not coming out?
After all, they are brothers, and they know what each other is thinking without opening their mouths: "Of course I can see it! But the person you like is different. I'm really afraid that you will be raped by her one day. ..."
In terms of perspective, the eldest brother has more eyes than the other.
But in terms of decisiveness, the eldest brother is beyond his reach.
People's hearts are full of flesh. If an ordinary girl got along with her elder brother for a few years, her heart would be shaken even if she secretly loved him. But that guy just gave up at the drop of a hat. The gap between the two was too big! How do you compare with big brother? The twisted melon is not only not sweet but may also be poisonous!
Cui Xiong looked at his younger brother, who looked at the ground.
Finally——
Cui Xiong chose a curve to save the country.
"I'm asking, you just need to say yes or no."
Cui Mi raised his eyebrows inwardly.
Brother, do you think you can find each other this way?
Too naive.
After three rounds of questions, Cui Mi discovered that the naive person was himself.
Cui Xiong had a rough guess about You Bao's true identity, and felt a lot more at ease. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his younger brother's expression of confusion. He said: "My father and I are different. Don't worry, personal feelings will not affect family affairs."
Youbao may be the key to Cui's transformation. One ring.
"...I know why you would..."
Cui Mi swallowed the rest of his words.
In fact, he has always wondered why his elder brother did not end well in so many futures and died in a fancy way. Looking at it now, he really can’t blame anyone else. He can only blame his elder brother for being too narrow-minded, and the opponents he provoked are the most Don’t do this...
Cui Xiong's eyes were puzzled: "What?"
Cui Mi said earnestly: "Being more sincere can save your life."
"I'm not sincere enough to you, brother?"
Cui Mi How many misfortunes have you caused by yourself?
He hasn’t asked why Cui Mi ended up in the Kangguo camp!
"Er Mi, weren't you originally loyal to Lady Zhongli? There was no news of Lady Zhongli's whereabouts before the battle. What are you..."
Cui Xiong thought Zhonglifu was captured by the Kang State, so he simply surrendered to the Kang State. , and even Cui Mi was packed into the Kangguo camp.
He was not very surprised by this result.
He had long guessed that Zhongli Fu had a relationship with Kang Guo, and his father also reached a secret deal with Kang Guo through this person.
Cui Mi smiled bravely.
"This... it's a long story..."
Seeing that Cui Mi didn't want to go into details, Cui Xiong didn't continue to ask, and his heart dropped completely in his throat: "Brother, I'm still worried about Cui's future. Lu, but I don’t know that you have this relationship with Kang Guo. With this relationship, the situation will be much easier in the future.”
Cui Mi knew what his brother was worried about as soon as he heard it.
Continue to sneer: "Brother, there is something I didn't tell you."
"What is it?"
"Don't we have a maternal grandfather?"
"Of course we have a maternal grandfather."
It can't be that my grandmother gave birth to my mother, uncle, and others.
"I just recently found out that my grandfather is also the number one person in the court of King Kang, so your worries will not be a problem." Relying on these relationships, the Cui family had enough time to escape unscathed!
It fell in Cui Xiong’s ears like thunder on the ground.
"How is that possible?"
The Cui family with their upright roots and Kang Guo have long been in secret communication?
No wonder his father still laughed at him?
Co-authored father already knew?
Cui Mi whispered: "I only found out recently, and - grandpa is planning to ask father for you or me..."
Both have the surname Cui, but have different ancestors.
"I want you?"
Cui Mi emphasized: "And you."
In the future he saw, his father almost exploded with anger.
No matter what kind of future it is, it will not be good for the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law.
